Chapter 635 Entering Fengtian

Early morning, Fengtian City.

The gunfire outside Fengtian City had stopped for a night.

The smell of gunpowder in the morning mist was also much lighter than in the previous two days.

On the city wall, Uchida Ginnosuke, commander of the 119th Division of the Fengtian City garrison, was observing the defense line of the 1st Division's attack with a telescope.

"Hey, Li Yunlong's troops have indeed stopped attacking. It seems we have found their weakness. From now on, whenever Li Yunlong's troops attack a city, we will use this method to deal with them!"

At this time, on the wall of Fengtian City, the Japanese tied a group of civilians together to resist the artillery fire; at the same time, civilians were also captured in front of the positions outside the city to block the guns.

"Hayi, this is indeed a good idea!"

"Okay, now we just need to wait patiently for the reinforcements to arrive!"

Uchida Ginnosuke put down the binoculars and said with a smile.

"Your Excellency, our reinforcements are not advancing smoothly. The three divisions coming from the peninsula were ambushed by Li Yunlong's troops last night, suffering heavy losses. They are now retreating towards us.

"The troops withdrawing from North China encountered resistance at a place called Tashan outside Jinzhou and have not yet been able to cross the Lianshan River."

Uchida Ginnosuke learned about the reinforcements last night.

"Li Yunlong's troops are very cunning. When they found they couldn't capture Fengtian, they attacked the reinforcements. But that's not important. As long as the reinforcements can enter Fengtian City, that's all!"

After Uchida Ginnosuke finished speaking, he looked towards Fushun and said, "Continue to contact the 246th Division retreating from Fushun and confirm a separate secret order to prevent Li Yunlong's troops from taking advantage of the situation!"

"Hai, it's confirmed. They'll give us a signal when they reach the outer area and contact us by telegram. They'll also paint their uniforms with some colors only we know to confirm their identities. That way, we'll be absolutely safe!"

Uchida Ginnosuke patted his chief of staff's shoulder with satisfaction. "Very good, let's do it. Iwanai-kun, do you know why I sent the 246th and 247th Divisions to support Fengtian even though I knew they were already defeated?"

Iwanai Hidetomo shook his head and said, "Please inform the division commander."

"Have you read Romance of the Three Kingdoms?"

Iwanai Hidetomo nodded and said, "Of course, this is one of my favorite books. I have read it many times."

"Then you should know the story of Dong Zhuo's entry into the capital."

Upon hearing this, Iwanai Hidetomo immediately understood: "Your Excellency, Division Commander, are you trying to fake the fact that we have a large number of reinforcements?"

"Yes, as long as reinforcements arrive, it will boost the confidence of our soldiers. They don't know that these reinforcements are fleeing to Fengtian. They only know that the reinforcements have arrived and Li Yunlong's troops will be defeated soon, so they fight bravely."

"And the puppet troops in the city will also lend their strength after seeing our reinforcements coming in. They think it's difficult for us to hold Fengtian now, but after the reinforcements arrive, they will definitely help us hold Fengtian."

"And those people in Fengtian City who are ready to make a move, do you really think I don't know what they want to do? As long as the imperial reinforcements arrive, these people will not dare to act recklessly. By then, Fengtian will be as solid as a rock!"

Upon hearing this, Chief of Staff Iwanai Hidetomo immediately bowed and said, "As expected of you, Division Commander! You are truly resourceful!"

"Although China is backward, their history contains many useful things. We can learn a lot from it and gain a lot."

"Haiyi, I will definitely read The Romance of the Three Kingdoms when I get back."

After checking the city defenses of Fengtian, Ginnosuke Uchida turned around and returned to his command center, continuing to maintain contact with the 246th Division, while also contacting the headquarters to ensure that no accidents would occur.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, a team appeared on the east side of Fengtian City and was approaching Fengtian City.

The sudden appearance of a Japanese army behind them surprised Li Yunlong's troops attacking Fengtian from the east, but they still quickly stabilized their positions and exchanged fire with this army.

In about half an hour, the Japanese troops opened up a road leading to Fengtian City.

When Uchida Ginnosuke received the news and rushed to the city wall, the battle was almost over.

He used a telescope to observe the situation on the battlefield in the distance, and saw that their reinforcements were venting their anger on the "corpses", and some were finishing off the "corpses".

After seeing this scene, a smile appeared on Uchida Ginnosuke's face.

"Report, His Excellency the Division Commander, the troops outside the city are the 246th Division. The radio has confirmed it and is verifying it with the headquarters!"

"Well, don't worry, wait for the headquarters to verify!"

"Hai!"

As soon as he received the telegram from the 246th Division, the cautious Uchida Ginnosuke quickly sent a telegram to the headquarters in Khabarovsk to confirm his identity.

At this time, the 9th Division, disguised as the 246th Division, also sent a telegram to the Japanese headquarters to inform them that they had been attacked and suffered heavy losses.

Therefore, in the Far East Command, the 9th Division was mistakenly identified as the Japanese 246th Division.

He also maintained contact with the Far East Command and the 119th Division to ensure that his identity would not be suspected.

"Report, headquarters confirms that the 246th Division has arrived at the east gate of Fengtian, with approximately 5,000 men."

"Yoshi, the numbers match up. It seems they've indeed suffered heavy losses, with only 5,000 left!"

"Hai, Li Yunlong's troops are very good at ambushes. Commander Kamimura Toshimichi is..."

Uchida Ginnosuke waved his hand and said, "General Kamimura Toshimichi's fate was truly unfortunate. Our 119th Division will avenge him. Continue to confirm his identity!"

"Hai!"

Uchida Ginnosuke was very cautious. Although the headquarters had confirmed it, he still had to follow the next procedure to confirm it.

After receiving the telegram, the 9th Division fired three flares into the air in accordance with the agreement with Uchida Ginnosuke.

Then he took out the prepared things and smeared them on the military uniform.

"Yoshi, it can be confirmed that it's the 246th Division. Send them a telegram and have them straighten their uniforms and march into the city in formation!"

"Hai!"

At this time, Liu Hao, the commander of the 9th Division, looked at the content sent by Uchida Ginnosuke and rubbed his temples. "This little devil is really a showman. He also wants us to march into the city in an orderly manner. Is he trying to imitate Dong Zhuo?"

Hearing this, the divisional political commissar laughed and said, "He, Dong Zhuo, doesn't know that his reinforcements are not his own!"

"Hahaha, notify the comrades to form into formation and enter Fengtian. The credit for taking Fengtian belongs to our Ninth Division!"

"I think Huang Zhiyong is going to curse!"

"Hahaha……"

Chapter 636: Welcoming the Reinforcements

In Fengtian City.

Uchida Ginnosuke breathed a sigh of relief after seeing more than 5,000 reinforcements enter the city.

Although Li Yunlong's troops had not yet reached the city walls, the outer positions required three regiments to garrison. If it were not for the large number of expatriates and puppet troops recruited, there would be almost no one available in Fengtian City.

"Let's spread the word according to the plan! Some people will go to the city walls to relieve the guard, and some will go into the city!"

"Hai!"

Uchida Ginnosuke smiled and said something to the person next to him. The chief of staff nodded in response and raised his hand towards the distance.

The prepared propaganda team began to get busy.

"People of Fengtian, listen up! The Imperial Army's reinforcements have arrived in Fengtian City. The Eighth Route Army outside the city cannot break into the city. Please don't panic!"

"The Imperial Army hopes everyone can contribute to Fengtian. Donating food and labor will be greatly rewarded. Anyone who betrays the army will be shot if found!"

After the 9th Division entered the city, there was a Japanese armored vehicle leading the way. There was a large loudspeaker installed on the armored vehicle, and an interpreter was reading out the prepared words aloud.

It sounded like Uchida Ginnosuke was announcing the arrival of reinforcements and that Fengtian would not be lost, so as to reassure everyone. However, he actually wanted to intimidate some people in the city who were ready to make moves.

During this period, Uchida Ginnosuke also clearly felt the strange atmosphere in Fengtian City, but he did not have enough troops to suppress it, so he turned a blind eye. But now there are more than 5,000 reinforcements, and more reinforcements will arrive later.

Uchida Ginnosuke is ready to clean up these people.

Inside the city, members of the special operations brigade who had been lurking in Fengtian City for some time noticed the sound of the Japanese loudspeakers.

"Captain, the Japanese reinforcements have arrived!"

"I see!" Zhang Qilin frowned and looked at the reinforcements marching in formation on the street in the distance.

"Report, the command center sent a telegram asking us to prepare for action as soon as we hear gunshots in Fengtian City to protect the safety of the Fengtian Arsenal!"

At this moment, the signalman handed Zhang Qilin a telegram.

"Let us take action now?"

Zhang Qilin was a little surprised and looked at the telegram.

"Could it be that the command center is unaware of the arrival of the Japanese reinforcements?"

The vice-captain asked with some concern.

Zhang Qilin shook his head and said, "No, the Japanese are making such a big fuss about the arrival of reinforcements, the headquarters must have heard the news!"

After saying that, Zhang Qilin looked at the Japanese reinforcements in the distance.

"If we didn't do it before, let's do it now..."

The deputy captain didn't finish his words, and then looked in shock at the reinforcements who were "parading" in the distance.

"Captain, they're not ours, are they?"

"I think it should be, otherwise we wouldn't act at this time. Inform comrades, when you hear gunshots, act according to the plan!"

"Yes!"

This special forces team that infiltrated Fengtian has been lurking for some time, recruiting many workers and others, and has been waiting for the order to act.

When Zhang Qilin gave the order to prepare for action, the special forces members immediately began to move.

"Old Liu, organize the factory protection team and ensure the safety of the steel mill!"

"Don't worry, as long as we are here, no one can destroy the steel mill!"

"Lao Zhang, prepare for action. When the time comes, ensure the safety of the arsenal and don't let the Japanese destroy it!"
